AMD has introduced the Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 “Strix” APU, the latest addition to its lineup of powerful AI-focused processors. The new chip boasts an impressive Neural Processing Unit (NPU) capable of delivering up to 55 TOPS (Tera Operations Per Second), setting a new standard for AI performance in PCs. The Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 shares many similarities with its predecessor, the HX 370, including a configuration of 4 Zen 5 cores and 8 Zen 5C cores, a boost clock speed of up to 5.1 GHz, and the Radeon 890M integrated graphics.
However, the HX 375 stands out with its enhanced NPU performance, which represents a 10% improvement over the standard Strix chips that max out at 50 TOPS. AMD has confirmed that the Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 will be featured in the upcoming HP OmniBook Ultra 14-inch laptop, set to launch in September. This inclusion marks the third model in the Ryzen AI 300 lineup, joining the previously announced SKUs, such as the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, Ryzen AI 9 365, Ryzen AI 9 PRO HX 370, and Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360.
Ryzen AI’s latest powerful addition
The specifications of the Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 are impressive, with the chip featuring 12 cores (4 Zen 5 cores and 8 Zen 5C cores), 16 threads, 24 MB of L3 cache, and 12 MB of L2 cache. It operates with a base clock speed of 2.00 GHz and can boost up to 5.10 GHz.
The TDP (Thermal Design Power) ranges from 15W to 54W, with a default setting of 28W. Manufacturer-supplied benchmarks suggest that the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is already competitive with the likes of the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H and even outpaces the last-gen Ryzen 9 7945HX3D. With the introduction of the HX 375, AMD’s Strix series is proving to be a leader in the AI PC segment, and more designs based on this chip are expected soon.
As AMD continues to strengthen its position in the competitive AI technology landscape, it remains to be seen how these Ryzen AI 300 Series CPUs will be used across different devices and how the real-world pricing difference between the HX 370 and HX 375 will manifest. For now, the new chips appear to be a promising addition to AMD’s offerings in the high-end laptop market, potentially enhancing the company’s position in the AI-driven PC platform space.
